Generally, you can expect to return to your normal activities within 1 or 2 days after a D&C procedure.
What to Expect During Recovery
While the general recovery time is short, here's a breakdown of what you might experience:
-
Initial Days: You're likely to experience backache or cramps, similar to menstrual cramps. Passing small blood clots vaginally is also common.
-
Following Weeks: Light vaginal bleeding may continue for several weeks following the procedure.
